When I search for online servers, it won't let me see the ping. Once I join a server, I end up having 200 ping or so, but my internet is quick enough to get very low latency on other games. How do I see the ping of the server before I join?

Also, for some reason, and it's only in B2BC2, my left headphone loses about 80% of its volume. The right headphone stays the same, but it's annoying as hell. This only happens in game. When I press escape and go to the menu, the sound returns to normal.

Usually the cds that come with the mobo are already old. Just update them again straight from the website. And to set it as admin, just right click on the bf2 icon, on the desktop, and go to properties then click run as admin
